National Census Report 2001, St. Vincent and the GrenadinesA comparison of the population age cohorts indicates that the 15 to 19 years of age grouplost 30.35 per cent of its cohort between 1991 and 2001, while those in the 10 to 14 agegroup lost 29.13 per cent, and the 20 to 24 age group lost 21.11 per cent, (Table 1.7). It issuspected that the majority of those lost from these three cohorts migrated for highereducation and economic opportunities. The 5 to 9 age group also experienced a highpercentage decrease in its cohort (18.36 per cent). In the case of the children lost to thiscohort, it is suspected that the majority of these children migrated with their parents. The60-64 years age cohort lost 24 per cent of its population while those 65 and older cohortlost 53.08 per cent.The high percentage loss among those in the 60 years and older age cohorts could bemainly due to death as the probability of dying increases with age mainly due to thepresence of degenerative diseases in the older age groups. Nevertheless, some of the lossfor this cohort can be attributed to migration.The loss among the female youth cohorts was higher compared to their male counterpart.Females in the 15-19 age cohort lost 31.51 per cent of their population compared withtheir male counterparts which lost 29.21 per cent. Additionally, females in the 20-24 agecohort lost 22.73 per cent of their population compared with their male counterpartswhich lost 19.56 per cent. As noted earlier, the loss to these age cohort (youths) ismainly due to migration for education and economic opportunities. It is argued thatfemales in the Caribbean are more likely than males to pursue higher education, and St.Vincent and the Grenadines is no exception. Since there is no university it is expectedthat persons would migrate to get an undergraduate degree or higher.10
